This smaller work speaks to isolated moments of specific touch. In disorientating configurations, Faux mirrors and inverts bodily forms- this fragmentation is a compositional and psychological tool. In this work a finger touches the mirror, reflected back, there is a sense of an impossible touch. In this work there is a fleshiness of the breast and pointing finger which references 'Gabrielle d'Estrées and one of her sisters' which hangs in the Louvre Museum, Paris.
